"Your cousin Kong Xiaoxian has already told me, I believe in him and believe in you."

Tang Zhen walked quickly, walked into the house, shook off the big rabbit, and the maid rabbit hurriedly took it with both hands, but he didn't let the big one fall to the ground.

It seems that Tang Zhen is usually used to shaking off the big hat as soon as he walks into the threshold, and the maid rabbit has long been used to his action.

Otherwise, if the cooperation is not good, the big will inevitably land, which is quite unbeautiful.

Tang Zhen turned around, sat down, waved his hand, and motioned for Chen Mu to sit down.

Shi Jinchong also wanted to come in, his front foot had just stepped over the threshold, Tang Zhen pointed with his hand, Shi Jinchong retreated again, and stood straight at the door, like a guard.

Tang Zhen picked up the teacup: "In the letter, he estimated that your skill is around the sixth grade, and at your age, the sixth grade is already very rare." But just now I saw you and Shi Jinchong fighting, and you didn't show like a six-grade combat power. ”

Chen Mu likes Tang Zhen's character and speaks crisply.

"I really don't know how many combat strengths I have, this time I came to Luoyang, and I plan to borrow Gongzi's measuring ruler to use it."

"Don't bother, come, we'll just pull hands."

Tang Zhen stood up, walked over, and stretched out his hand.

Chen Mu likes Tang Zhen more and more, this young master is so capable, there is no trace of smiling on his body. Chen Mu stood up, the hands of the two touched together, almost without temptation, and directly began to strengthen.

Chen Mu directly used a lot of force.

The hands of the two were stalemate together, and Chen Mu felt that if he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, it seemed that he could add a little more strength, but shaking hands with Gongzi like that would not seem too ungraceful, so he maintained this strength.

After holding each other for a while, Chen Mu felt that Tang Zhen had no intention of continuing to exert strength, but Tang Zhen's wrists were already bruised.

Chen Mu looked up and saw that Tang Zhen's eyes were full of shock.

"You push harder." Tang Zhen was almost in a commanding tone.

"It's very powerful."

"Impossible."

Seeing that Chen Mu refused to exert any more force, Tang Zhen let go: "Shi Jinchong, bring me the power measuring scale!" ”

"Yes!"

At the moment of letting go, Chen Mu saw that Tang Zhen's hands were left with deep pinching marks, and the whitening marks left by the severe compression of the skin and flesh did not immediately return to blood. The eighteenth prince is a good-looking person, and he "inadvertently" puts his hands behind his back.

Chen Mu also hid his hand behind his back and squeezed his fist, just now, his hand also suffered a great grip force, and for a moment, he was even worried that his hand would be crushed.

"Pedaling"

Shi Jin rushed back, carrying a tool similar to a strong crossbow in his hand.

"This is the Jiupin Measuring Ruler, you can show me with all your might." Tang Zhen said loudly.

Now is not the time to hide his strength, Chen Mu planned to pull with all his strength, but he shook his left shoulder, and the injured place was still faintly swollen and painful. This is not a good thing for the left-handed Chen Mu, but he didn't say anything, grabbed the crossbow arm with his right hand, and pulled the bowstring with his left hand.

A force was pulled to the "six pins".

Continue to pull, "six pins" effortlessly.

"Qipinxia" is not very strenuous, but the pain in the shoulder is deepening.

The bowstring came to the scale on the seventh grade, and when he wanted to pull it again, he suddenly felt a tearing pain in his shoulder, and immediately let go and said: "I'm ashamed, the shoulder strain, it's only the combat power of the seventh grade." ”80908090z

Tang Zhen's eyes were sharp, he seemed to see that Chen Mu was injured, stood up, looked at Chen Mu's left shoulder, pointed to a tiny tear and said, "This is my new clothes for you, why is there a tear here?" When you were discussing with Shi Jinchong just now, you said that you would give him an arm, is it that you have an injury to your left arm? ”

"Childe, I was about to tell you about this."

"Okay, I'll listen."

Looking at Tang Zhen again, he felt that his eyes were a little warmer, he actually reached out and pressed Chen Mu's shoulder, pressed Chen Mu into the chair, and finally patted his shoulder.

It can be seen that the eighteenth prince is very satisfied with Chen Mu's combat power.

is only seventeen years old, and he can still pull on the "seven products" when he is injured, which deeply impresses Tang Zhen.

At the same age, Tang Zhen couldn't do it.

The skill improvement period is only a few years, and when it reaches the bottleneck period, it is difficult to improve again. For example, the fool standing at the door, he is also a warrior on the seventh grade, but he may not be able to improve much.

Chen Mu didn't want to discuss the injury with Tang Zhen, but wanted to talk about serious things directly. There are a lot of things to do with the sons of the real power faction, and those gossips will be left for later. Tang Zhen is an extremely capable person, then he must also like capable subordinates, procrastination is definitely not in line with his character. Be careful to talk to him and avoid gossip.

Chen Mudao: "I don't know if the son is short of money now?" ”

"No. But if you need money, I can move it for you. ”

"One million and two thousand taels of silver, I don't know if Gongzi wants it? And it's every year. ”

"What?" Tang Zhen smiled in surprise: "Where did this money come from?" ”

"Pingkangfang, Wanhualou." Chen Mu Zhengse said: "I came to Luoyang, and by chance I met the chief bustard of Wanhualou, Suzaku, and she was willing to seek the protection of the Tang Clan Gate Valve at a price of 1.2 million taels per year. I told her that it was better to only support the eighteenth prince, so that when the eighteenth prince became the patriarch of the gate valve, the price might be reduced to one million taels. ”

When Chen Mu said this, he was a little worried, because he still had a problem in his heart that had not been solved, Wanhualou was a cash cow, and the Tang Gate Valve was short of money, so why didn't the Tang Gate Valve take the initiative to contact Wanhualou?

Chen Mu will not ask this question first, but directly talk about things and see what Tang Zhen's reaction is.

Tang Zhen's face did not change much, his hand was on the coffee table next to the chair, his fingers tapped, and he asked, "Suzaku agreed?" ”

"Agreed."

Tang Zhen stood up, put his hands behind his back, and frowned: "Can she agree?" ”

"Chen Mu has just arrived, and he doesn't know what is behind this business. rashly proposed to Childe, hoping that Childe would consider it carefully. Chen Mu paused for a moment before asking, "I don't know what the son is afraid of?" ”

"Hehe, what am I afraid of." Tang Zhen sneered: "The biggest problem I face now is to raise money.

The reason why I came back early this time is because I got the news that the Huns have elected a new Da Danyu, which is the Arlandor you once met in Jiuquan. Originally, he was not the heir of Da Shan Yu, but he killed Meng Hedan's three sons and snatched the position of Da Shan Yu alive.

I have read the Jiuquan battle report and know that this person is not simple. Although his combat power is not very high, his brain is very good. It's the toughest kind of enemy.

If it's just the Hungarians who make a move, I'm not very worried, because they have few people. However, I also heard that Arlando was contacting the Sogdians, who had occupied Jiaohe City for many years and had already invaded Hexi, and I feared that they would join forces.

At this time, our Shence Army was still in the period of recuperation, and the combat effectiveness of the recruits was worrying, the recruitment speed was very slow, and the equipment was also poor.

There is only one reason for this situation, lack of money.

Now the martyrs' pensions can't be paid, and the people are cold, if they fight again, I don't know if they can recruit soldiers.

Fortunately, Bing said, I was more worried about food.

Now the Meng family and the Ximen family are all monolithic, controlling the two big granaries of Jingzhou and Huainan without putting grain, and we can only wait for the grain from Shandong, Henan, and Hebei. But how much can the Xuanjia Army lend us?

This time with Meng Hedan, our Tang family spent a total of 7.3 million taels, five silver numbers, we borrowed all the money, so far we haven't paid back, if you open your mouth now, people will not pay.

Although it is enough to kill any of the silver horns with the power of the gate valve, it is not advisable to kill the chicken and take the eggs, and the royal family will not allow us to do that in Luoyang. ”

The first is the latest.
